Derby Stories

[BasicPatrick]

Many of my stories involve sleep driving...Right John R

There was this one time. Shore flyrod bluefish was a category I had placed a couple times. With two weeks left the leader was only 3 pounds and change. I left a note at the fishing shack declaring I would not return until I took the lead. THREE days later I was woken up by house mates because I was asleep with my engine running in the old Dodge Ramcharger. I was by the stalls where you either go left onto Norton Point dune road or straight onto South Beach. When they woke me up I moved and the truck surged forward. Apparently I fell asleep behind the wheel with the truck still in gear at the point where the road becomes the beach and the truck just stopped in idle. I don't know who laughed harder the crew that woke me up or me.

BP - I will never forget taking over the Blazer so we could get to XX spot to fish that night - talk about knowing MV like the back of your hand !!! - I have NO clue where TF I'm going - waking up BP as we go every 10 Min. - we're in the middle of the woods on a trail at a fork - in the middle of the night - I wake up BP - he looks around for a sec - mutters off more directions and off we go
Soon Patrick - GAME ON.
Good Luck - will watch the board for your name - Unless I hit the Lottery i'll be on this side - working.

Keith, The waders were fine. It was you fishing in a tee shirt and no surf top. ( Boat Guys)

Good story Patrick, Did you get your Fly-rod Blue? I can say you do know MV very well. Catching a nap in your Jeep at Wasque waiting for daybreak, You fell a-sleep with the headlights on. You're are deep sleeper....

Who else has funny Derby moments?????
